Couldn't Stand Both.

Gen. George A. Sheridan relates this story,
which he picked up in New Orleans. A del
egation of citizens of that place visited Presi-
dent Lincoln to beg him to remove Gen. But
Ter from command there. The President
listened while they presented their thousand
and one grievances and then said: "Well,
gentlemen, much as you dislike Gen. Butler,
at least he has done one good thing for you,
for by his wise sanitary regulations he has
kept the yellow fever out. One of the dele
gates, Creole, skipped before the President,
and replied, excitedly: pardon, Mistah
President, pardon it was not Butler vat
keeps re fevaire away from the city; 1t was
God He still have leetle mercy for our peo-
ple He do not send Ben Butler and re vel
low fevaire re the same season; no sare."
The President laughed heartily, but all the
same Gen. Butler was kept in command.

Judges Shrewd Trick.

Trial Justice Robinson, of Anderson, has a
unique way of fastening guilt upon the crimi-
nails that appear in his court, writes Column
bia, S. c., correspondent of the New York
Herald. The other day negro was arraign-
ed before him charged with stealing hog
One of the witnesses for the prosecution was
specially active in his efforts to fix the guilt
upon the prisoner, and in an unguarded mo-
ment showed himself guilty of duplcity. The
judge took cognizancc of this fact, and finding
the evidence against the prisoner wholly in
sufficient for conviction, ordered him released
Believing strongly in the guilt of the party
he had spotted, the judge determined to try
the effect of an old chestnut, and suggested
to the large crowd of darkies present that
the matter be left entirely to very fine game
rooster he had in the yard. The proposition
met the approval ofthe audience in the court
room, and he ordered the feathered Judge to be
brought in, together with large iron wash
pot. The rooster and the pot both in, the
judge assumed all the dignity possible and
proceeded to announce deliberately and
solemnly, that the rooster would be placed
under the pot and everybody in the house
would be expected TO touch it, while the ne
groes present would sing "Let the old ark
rock on"
"The rooster" said the judge, will crow
when the guilty man touches the pot"
Hands were then clasped and circle form
ed around the pot, and "Let the old ark rock
on" was sung as only negroes can sing.
The judge noticed that the burly fellow
he had suspected was very nervous, and was
making his way to the door. He therefore
urged him to enter the circle and touch the
pot. The fellow declined, saying, 81 am out
of dat scrape now and want to stay out"
He joined in the singing, but would not
touch the pot The older negroes regarded
his conduct as conclusive evidence of his guilt
and upon being pressed he made full con
fession of his crime, and was then sentence
10 three months Imprisonment in the county
Jail.
The ignorant negroes now think Justice
Robinson's trick is the triumph of genius,
and are ready TO worship the game-cock.--
They are also willing to leave all the stealing
cases in that community to the infallble
judgment of Judge Robinsons rooster.

VARIETIES.

Fish culture will never reach its highest
form until fish are taught how to bite so that
they may be hooked.
1t can never be beneath the dignity of the
pulpit to answer any inquiries touching re-
ligious faith which an honest and sensible
people are moved to ask.

at dinner, "you didn't say anything to any
one about what was telling yon about night

she replied kind of regretfully. "Well, did

Bishop Thompson, of Mississippi, tells
this capital joke at his own expense He says
that as he stepped off the cars one day at
jackson, Miss, he was approached by an
enterprising dusky drummer for q local ho-

Lawrence House." Another darkey stand

Men are hard to please, any way. If
woman pays SIS for dainty bonnet they
poke fun at it, and call it chestnut burr. If
she tries 10 get the worth OF her money, and
procures hat that is foot and half high,

gible masculines complain they can't see over
them at theatres and churches. Verify, there
is nothing left for the women, but to do as
they please.

Two Irishmen came to guide post on
wide and desolate plain. 1t was getting dusk,
and the unfenced trails were scarcely distin-
guishable. "Five miles to Glenairle," read
one OF them, putting his face close to the
board "But which av them goes to Glen
aire, shure?" asked his companion, looking
obviously at the two trails. After few
moments meditative silence, the first Irish
man replied, "We can try wan av them, and
then the other" "But how will we find the
way bac we get lost?" "Shure, we will
take the board along wild u.s." replied the
first. And so the two pilgrims lighted their
pipes and marched cheerfully away with the
guide board between them.

Red Headed Girls and White Horses

New York Sun.
"Here's a red-hcaded girl and there's a
white horse" said John Matthews, the we'll
known sporting man who was walking
down Broadway with reporter.
"What do you mean?" he was asked.
Didn't you ever hear that before Every
time you meet a red-headed girl you will see
white horse"
Half block further another red-headed
girl was met
"Wheres your white horse now3" asked
the reporter.
There's one turning the next corner" he
replied, and sure enough around the corner
came white horse drawing dray.
They never fail, tell you. have been
saying "Here's ared-headed girl and there's
white horse" for fifteen years. I've never
got left yet.
After parting the reporter met one more
red-headed girl, and, looking for the white
horse, was not surprised to see car pass
drawn by two of them.

RUSSELL'S PATENT
Excelsior Fence.
a Combination Of Rails & Wire.
CHEAP, CONVENIENT, DURABLE AND
EFFECTIVE.

This ingenious fence can be made with any
number of rails by any farm hand and will turn
any kind of stock. The stakes are placed on top
of the ground and 1t can therefore be made, even
when the ground is frozen or very dry. Old
rails, which are plentiful on most farms, may be
used, and all that need be paid for Is two to four
cents per rod for wire. 1t is the only rail fence
that will stand on billy ground.
A sample may be seen near tho Bel Air Rail-
road Station. and at other prominent points in
the county.

THE SUNBEAM,

BY MRS. HEMANS.
Thou art no iingerer in monarch's hall,
A joy thou art, and a wealth to all!
bearer of hope unto land and sea-
Sunbeam! what gift hath the world like thee.
Thou art walking the pillows and ocean smiles
Thou hath touched with glory his thousand isles;
Thou hath lit up the ships and the feathery foam,
And gladdened the sailor like words from home.

Folding their heights in its dark array;
Thou breakfast forth-and the mist became
A crown and mantle OF living flame.
looked on the peasants lowly cot
Something of sadness had wrapt the spot;
But CLEAN of thee on its lattice fell.
And 1t laughed into beauty at thas bright spell.
And thou turnest not from the humbest grave,
Where flower to the signing wind may wave;
Thou scatterest its gloom like the dreams of rest
Thou sleepest in love on its grassy breast.
Sunbeam of summer! oh, what is like thee
Hope of the wilderness, joy of the sea =
One thing is like thee to mortals given,
The faith touching all things with love of Heaven.

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.

New York, July 27.-While pas
tor of st. Stephens Church, DR..
McGlynn was as energetic as any
priest of his church in seeking to
fill the public schools with Catholic
teachers. In the current number
of the "North American Review"
he presents arguments and bitter
ly unecelesitical carrollary which he
entities "The New Knownothingism
and the Old" Under cover of an
attack upon the old Knownothing
party, but really a defense of its
principles, he boldly assails what he
calls the attempts of the Catholic
Church to-day upon the treasury,
the public school system and the
polls. He charges the Catholic
clergy with political intrigue and
subversion of republican principles
to the interest of Rome, and declares
that the alleged evils dreaded, pre-
dicted and denounced with so much
vehemance by the elder Know
nothings would find to-day hun
dred-fold greater justification.
His conclusion is that the Repub-
lie is seriously menaced and that

A TRANSLATION.

Men have been and are, as is well
known, always and everywhere,
when the truth is in question, mos
quito catchers but in opposition to
lies they will swallow whales. The
more stupid the lie, the more pro-
bable, the more impudent, the more
credible does it appear. The null
titude without any judgment prefers
to be belied and deceived. Who
ever lies or deceives the same in the
most brazen manner, will control
it. The more impudent the lie, the
eraser the deceit, the more infu-
ence will it have with this multitude.
That is to say, until liar or de-
ceiver more shameless outbids his
predecessor. This fact the swind-
lers of all times knew well, took it
to heart, and put it into deeds.
Only the big ones, however, had
lasting success, whereas the small
ones usually were stopped half way,
were hanged, or done away with in
some other manner.

THE ORLEANS PRINCES.

New York, July 16.-The "Tri-
bune's" Paris correspondent writes
as follows: An immense sensation
has been created, not only in
monarchical circles, but also through
out France and at all the European
Courts, by the appearance of a re-
markable book entitled "Le Cabinet
Noir," the author, or rather editor,
of which is the Comte de Herisson,
Well known as one of the soundest
and most careful of French writer's.
So seriously do the documents pub
lished therein affect the claims of
the Orleans dynasty that the Comte
de Paris has just been forced to
assert his position more vigorously
than at any time since the Comte de
Chambord's death. The gathering
of French royalists on the Isle of
Jersey and the Comte de Paris
speech there asserting that the time
was near at hand when the republic
would be overthrown and the mon
archy restored were solely with the
object of counteracting the effect of
the revelations of ale Cabinet
Noir."
Nowhere in Europe is greater
strictness observed in matters Of the
registration of births, deaths or what
is known on the Continent as the
etdt ciUH of the population than in
Holland. The Dutch official register
of deaths records the following:
Died on the 10th of August, at
62 Dude street, Charles Louis de
Bourbon, Due of Normandie, Louis
XVII, known by the name of
Charles William Nauendorff, born at
the Chateau of Versailles, in France,
on the 27th of March, 1885; aged,
therefore, sixty years; son of his
late Majesty Louis XVI. King of
France, and of her Imperial and
Royal Highness Marie Antoinette,
Duchess of Austria, Queen of
France both of them deceased at
Paris; and husband of Madame la
Duchesse de Normandie (aec jamie
Einert).

under the name of De Bourbon. 1t
is therefore probable that the popular
assertion that the Dutch Government
have in their possession documents
firmly establishing the contested
identity of Louis XVII. is well
founded. The recognition of Nauen-
dorff' S claims would have been con-
trary to the laws of the country and
the regulation of the army. Per-
haps the French Government fears
that if the Paris tribunals were to
consent to a hearing of the Nauen-
dorff case and were to give an
adverse judgment, the Dutch Gov
eminent would, in self defense, come
forward with positive evidence on
the subject.
1t is well known that the Vatican
has in Its possession documents CIV
ing an account of the escape
of. the Dauphin from Temple
Prison. The court of Berlin is like
wise known to have in its archives
important papers relating to the
identity of the Dauphin and to his
fight from Temple Prison. Who
knows if some day Bismarck may
not take upon himself to destroy the
pretensions of the Orleans princes
by making the contents of the box
in question public!
